With that same video and I think others (can't exactly remember) there's no video at all when displayed on an Xbox or PS3. Lowering the video scale seems to of fixed this, so I went ahead and added a video scale slider to the gui. This also has the added benifit of lowering the bitrate of the stream, which may or may not expliain blank video's.

2 video's had garbled audio and jerky. However when audio-sync was removed they worked fine. It hasn't seemed to effect other video's, so now by default its disabled and can be enabled in the gui

VLC/ffmpeg has several experimental codecs. By default they are disabled (I guess so VLC doesn't implode each time), but now there's a GUI option to enable them.

Because I got tired of constantly recompiling PMS to change the video, audio, and container codecs they are now specified in the gui. But sometime soon were going to have to figure out how to select the right codec to tell to VLC. I can tell you the existing confs for the UPnP players are more of a guide to which codec to use, not the exact name. If you have any idea on how to turn the UPnP confs into this: http://wiki.videolan.org/Codec please let me know

How do I save configuration data? Can't figure it out

EDIT: Embeded subtitles might occasionally be tiny. Especially when you run something like my setup with an Xbox hooked up to an ancient 30"-ish CRT tv. A potential issue is that I'm not sure we can configure subtitle size, at least from what I've seen

Wow. That coupled with the many "We are not obligated to fix bugs" statements sprinkled throughout the FAQ and bug tracker makes me really question how VLC still functions and still manages to innovate. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt though and submit them to trac

More updates:

Codec auto-detection is now implemented. However it required modification of the FormatConfiguration class and made VLC (on windows at least) a lot less stable and prone to crashing when streaming to a PS3. I had to disable auto-detection (new feature) and specify the old codecs to get it working with all my video's again. This might mean that stable codecs need to be specified in player configuration files

Finally JGoodies form's syntax clicked with me and now the GUI doesn't look like crap. Wootz

Can now add custom parameters to VLC in GUI

Manually selecting audio and subtitle tracks in the #Transcode# folder on the client actually play's those tracks now

Saving configuration changes in the GUI is being worked on by valib

I still have no guidance on fast fowarding or how to make UnbufferedOutputFile not simply break PMS. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know

MPlayer plays same way almost all file types. Difference here is decoder X transcoder.That VLC is able to play(decode) your file doesn't mean it can transcode it. Transcoder can have some limits like it can't make file with 15fps but decoder can play it.Result is that 15fps file is played but encoder can't use 15fps (I spotted this behavior for some codecs in MPlayer and I think it can be case also for VLC)I don't want to say MPlayer/MEncoder is better than VLC but that VLC can have same problems like MEncoder
